The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1887-06-03


remember last year reporting the sale
by us of five yearling fillies to Valen
tine Shank, of Litchfeld, Ohio.
Said FLIES were broken to harness
last fall and turned out for the win
ter. They are now two years old.
Mr.. Shank said he bought them for
trotters. We have just received let
Ter from him, dated May goth, in
which he says: "Lilly Bowers by
Louis Napoleon, dam by 10 Gavin,
is trotter sure; she has been in the
sulky but twice and today she trotted
an easy mile in 3:ao; you will hear
from her next fall. Tinney B. is also
trotting we'll for the little she has
been handled. Miss Willard by 10
Gavin, dam by o. B. Gould son of
Gould's Clay, is trotting well; I drove
her today in $3.50; think she will beat
3 minutes ere long. The other two
are running to pasture yet" The
second dam of Lilly Bowers bred to
Napoleon in 1876 produced Colonel
Bowers, who, like Chas. Hilton, drew
the family carriage from 1880 to
1885. In 1886 he showed mile in
2:a3H; was famed in collision at
Kalamazoo, and while lame made
record Of a:3I and showed half in

Jersey Bulletin:. I recently made
my friend, E. o. Dewey, of Owosso,
visit, and l thought a few notes
about his and other Jerseys in that
vicinity might be of interest. Mr..
Dewey has some very choice cattle.
His bull Expectation, sire Medores,
son of lie Brocq's Prize. A bull of
excellent blood and of perfect form.
He has Bonnie lie Brocq, daughter
of lie Brocq's Prize and Bounty, bred
at Beech Grove, a magnificent COW,
perfection in form, color and breed
ing. Her udder is remarkable for
size and shape; she has just dropped
bull calf by Pedro Star, son of
Pedro, property of Mr.. w. J. G.
Dean, of Hanover, choice calf. Pet
lie Brocq, by lie Brocq's Prize, dam
Petrina, by Maurius. She is a grand
COW, perfection in every way; large,
elegantly shaped udder; made 9 lbs.
week with first calf. Her daughter,
Pet lie Brocq ed, is two years old and
gem-grand udder and teats-sired
by Medores. She has heifer calf by
Sixty, also by Msdores; dam Lille
Pope, IA lbs S OF. on grass, for Smith
Bros, Eagle, Mich, is full sister to
Eugene Choteau, property Of Mr.. M.
w. Bell, of Missouri. 1t will be seen
that Mr.. DIS cattle are worthy of
note from 6ood standpoint and indi.
they are exceedingly fine.
Finer cows than Bonnie and Pet lie |
Brocq are not to be found. They |
are perfect dairyAanimals.
Mr.. Quincy Mcbride, living at
Burton, five miles from Owosso, has
some choice registered stock and
several grades. They have recently
purchased bull by Ida's Rioter of
St. Lambert, dam Mary of Pleasant
view. Average record of dam and
sire's dam over az lbs. They have
Julia of Brightside and Daisy of
Glover Lawn and their heifer calves,
and are laying the foundation for a
good herd and are adding thousands |
Of dollars to the dairy cattle in their
Several other gentlemen have
bought Jersey bulls to cross on COM
mon stock. The result must prove
The grade Jersey cow, in my opin-
ion, comes the nearest to the greatly
sought after general purpose cow"
although l do not believe in a gener-
al purpose COW; yet / sincerely be-
lieve that the one.half and three
quarters Jersey COW has more COM
qualities for the average
farmer than any other cow in exis-
tence. a' G. B. SMITH,
